The American dream doesn't exist. The government is just way to secretive, and unfair to allow such a thing. There is something called luck, and the economy. I'm sorry I just can't stand people thinking this country is number one. Don't get me wrong, I love America I just think we need to make major improovements. But there are just so Many other countries with just the same, if not more, freedoms and a shit load of oppurtunity. I'd say maybe we used to be number 1 but it is the kind of cockiness of thinking we will always be on top and the whole "american dream" theory that anyone can make it here. I don't mean to sound racist, I hate racisim, but seriously many minority occupations are either horrible occupations and many people just give the minorities occupations even if they are less qaulified then the other guy, so they dont seem racist which in the long run is just as bad as being a racist. Thats the opposite of equal oppurtunity. Like I said I hate racism and I feel this has to stop, and we must truly give equal oppurtunity. Did you guys know that statistics proove that the current most discriminated against person in the U,S. is the white male? I'm sure you're all goingto think this was a waste of time and I plan on getting comments reffering to me as a consceeded liberal or something along those lines... Well whatever I will let you continue but please if you comment on this be open minded. I've gotten into so many debates with conservitive friends and family members, and republicans over other forumss, and they are never open minded. So please If you even comment on this I beg of you to keep it CLEAN, RESPECTIBLE, and OPEN MINDED.
